Systematic Shinobi - Chapter 52.2 (Patreon)

Honestly, after Sakura left to head home, Daiki was just pure on bemused. Her attitude right then, was a far cry what she was like in the other timeline when it came to perverted actions.

Any perverted action around her there, ended up with her fist turning concrete to powder…or bones. Poor Naruto, he'd lost count of how many times her fist had smashed his head into the ground with bone breaking force.

…Then again, she had tried that with him initially, he just wasn't kind enough to let her do it.

Like, he wasn't really going to complain, but it was still a massive turn around from what her other self was like. Had their talk during the second route really impacted her that much?

He stared after the older pink haired girls form until she disappeared from good old trusty training ground sixty nine, before deciding to put it and her out of mind for the moment and disappearing with a blur of motion using the body flicker.

He headed straight home to his house, reaching his destination in less than a minute. He was half expecting Anko to still be around given his offer to let her chill at his place while he was training with the old man Hokage.

Daiki was somewhat relieved she wasn't there though he found with a quick sweep of his eyes, his all seeing scarlet eye allowing him to easily see through every wall in the building.

Fun and sexy as Anko was-

Daiki had been keeping it suppressed all day, ever since he met with Naruto and helped him get a basic understanding of his abilities as a Jinchuuriki, but inspiration had struck him.

A new possible way to augment his grind had appeared before him, and now that he was home, he could truly ponder on it.

He made his way to his living room and collapsed on his sofa, staring right up at the ceiling, before speaking aloud, "What do you think?" he asked aloud.

'It has merit, I won't lie,' Isobu replied, 'The problem is you'll need to design an all new seal to do it, though admittedly with your other seals you've already laid out the ground work. That, and you need to be careful not to overdo it, if you do, it will make your chakra fluctuate a lot like his, though not to the same extent and make your chakra harder to control.'

His idea was simple. Copy Naruto. Not specifically anything he was actually doing himself, but rather what they'd discovered earlier today while inside his seal.

The pure yang chakra that made up the half of Kurama inside Naruto, making it so the abundance of chakra seeping into him was pure yang, and to his understanding, was obviously not only enhancing the quality of his physical growth, but to an extent, allowing his physical capabilities to grow passively.

It was not some truly massive amount. But say for example, that passive growth added a single pound of lifting strength per day? It was a tiny miniscule amount per day, but over time added up massively. Using that one pound example, Naruto as he was now, at almost fourteen years old, would have been capable of lifting over two tons without ever having to have trained a day in his life.

It wasn't like Daiki was all that specifically unhappy with his physical growth at all right now. In fact, he was over the moon about it, the rate he was progressing was utterly absurd compared to the average shinobi or kunoichi.

But that simply wasn't good enough when he knew of the kind of monsters that were lurking out there, the kind of monsters that had high chances of making a move not only upon him in the future, but the Leaf Village and he supposed the world as well.

Utterly absurd compared to the average, still wasn't enough. People joked all the time on versus threads and shit back home, people pulling out their ass how Naruto characters were super weak and couldn't do anything to the likes of Dragon Ball Z characters and people going on and on about how Kishimoto claimed Madara was only as strong as Nappa.

…Putting all that bullshit aside, it was easy to say stuff like that when it wasn't real, when it was just some losers behind a computer screen fanboying over their favourite anime.

But when that reality became real? Daiki wondered what they'd have to say to the fact that Madara could literally create massive meteors, where if a single one came down and hit the planet of his old world, the planet would have become inhabitable and all of humanity would most likely have been wiped out. Or the fact the man could literally pause time with his eyes, or rewind time with his eyes.

And that was only his base mangekyou sharingan abilities.

Daiki wasn't even sure how he was going to counter that in the future. How did one counter the ability to freeze or rewind time?

But that was a problem for future Daiki to solve, he the Daiki of the present, could only do everything he could upon the path of the grind and squeeze every last drop of grind enhanced strength out where he could.

'Putting that horrible thought aside for the moment,' Isobu coughed, 'As far as Naruto's growth goes, you're mostly correct. Though given his strength right now and the subpar training he has gone through, even if not his own fault, I'd wager your analogy is a bit off. Strength wise alone, I'd say if using you as a basis, I'd say roughly three to five times your estimate.'

'Well, it was just an example.' Daiki shrugged, banishing the thoughts of Madara once more to the deepest parts of his psyche where he would do his best not to think on the man again for quite a while, he had to let loose a whistle despite himself.

So with no training at all, Naruto would have been capable of lifting between six and ten tons huh? That wasn't too shabby at all. It didn't compare of course to him right now, since he was literally wearing thirty tons per limb right now and was actually having an easy time moving around with them and would need to upgrade them soon, but still, a passive growth like that would be lovely.

But the true kicker was the enhanced physical growth from the overabundance of yang chakra.

It would increase the rate of his growth by a decent margin. Which would be amazing.

'It would speed up your time table a little bit for sure, and would offset the fact that you're going to end up Hokage at the rate you're going and be doing paperwork a lot,' Isobu teased, 'Admittedly, the stronger you become physically and the more potent your chakra, the greater our Bijuu Mode will be.'

Well yeah obviously, since their physical abilities would be combined at that point more or less.

'Not just physical abilities, our chakra as well,' Isobu replied, 'Remember we bijuu are masses of sentient chakra given form, our physical abilities come from our chakra, not muscles like you humans. It is why I said before that technically yes in pure power and physical ability, Kurama is the strongest of we bijuu by far, because his amount of chakra even in his current state dwarfs the rest of us.'

Huh. That was actually a little different than he thought about it. He thought it would basically just be his physical abilities and Isobu's own combined, because he was thinking of it like how his strength, worked and assumed the bijuu's massive strength and other physical abilities came from their absurd size.

But if it was merely because of their chakra then-

'Yes, no matter what size we are, as long as we have full access to our chakra our strength, speed and such will remain the same, the only thing our size adds in that sense is the sheer scale and weight behind our physical abilities,' Isobu explained, 'This also means, that even should the day come where you vastly surpass my abilities as Hashirama and Madara did to even kurama, the bijuu mode you will have access to with me, will forever increase in power with each little bit of physical strength and chakra you gain.'

….Huh.

That was amazing. And it explained a lot. For instance, Kurama. Kurama was monstrously strong no doubt.

But the speed he and Naruto moved at during the fourth war in the other timeline, at first he hadn't thought Kurama capable of such a thing, especially in a half state.

But Naruto who had more chakra than the likes of Kisame at that point by far, adding his chakra to the bijuu mode and their combined might looking more like Kurama's chakra plus Naruto's chakra plus Naruto's physical abilities equals bijuu mode output-

It made a lot more sense. That first bijuu mode, was probably a decent bit stronger than Kurama's own natural full strength before he was halved.

'The same as my estimates yes.' Isobu agreed.

"Woah, woah woah wait a minute!" Daiki quickly sat up eyes widening as something clicked, "At the beginning of the fourth war Naruto and that half of Kurama together had comparable chakra to Hashirama. But through that war, Naruto's grew massively to the point where he was nearly comparable with Hashirama chakra wise on his own."

It was absurd to think about, but true and made some sense. Kurama was constantly regenerating Naruto's own chakra and supplanting it with his own at a constant pace. While Naruto himself had thousands of shadow clones spread across multiple battlefields, and was transferring his and Kurama's chakra in the form of bijuu cloaks to tens of thousands of people. Handling not only his own capacity, but Kurama's at the same time and constantly using it up over and over and over…

It was no wonder his chakra capacity grew so massively.

But beyond that, it meant that Naruto and Kurama's bijuu mode was continuously evolving and growing stronger through the course of the fourth war at a rapid rate, and then they added sage mode on top of that.

"And yet Madara beat them with ease, without his eyes, alongside the other eight of you and Gaara." Daiki said aloud, once more that monstrous beast of a shinobi rising to the forefront of the topic.

What an absolute monster of a unit that fucker was.

Every time he thought there was nothing more mind blowing he could think about when it came to that guy, there was always more.

Fuck that guy man.

Gritting his teeth, Daiki shook his head and banished Madara from his mind and moved on, "Assuming we win in the end, doesn't that mean that with the passive growth of the yang chakra and the constant chakra growth I go through thanks to you and my heavenly star seal," he began, "That since my life force is ever increasing, that we'll just continue to passively get stronger for all eternity?"

'More or less, yes.' Isobu nodded.

With that, he would become so in tune with the grind, that the grind would passively enhance him for all time.

'…It always comes back to the grind with you, huh?' Isobu snorted.

Yes.

But among those thoughts, then the greater Isobu's own chakra was, the greater the increase he would passively attain as well.

Which meant that, soon he would have to pay a visit not only to the dragon vein, but the mine containing the source for the stone of gelel. With that, their combined bijuu mode would jump massively and power and then increase the rate at which his own chakra grew as well, increasing the rate once more at which their bijuu mode's power passively grew.

…If only there was a way though beyond that to increase Isobu's chakra even more. Well, there was that dumb demon in the land of swamps he had to go beat the shit out of and steal the army of, but that would be minor compared to the dragon vein and mine of gelel.

'Speaking of chakra, I think you've reached the point now where you can safely increase the amount of shadow clones you use during training.' Isobu piped up, breaking his thought process.

He grinned, "So jump from two hundred to three hundred now?"

'…That's not a jump, it's a leap,' Isobu snorted, 'But I suppose it should be fine.'

Perfect,

"Then while I do that, I'll get working on making a seal to convert chakra into pure yang chakra," he bounced up off the couch and clapped his hands excitedly, "I'll add it to the heavenly star seal actually and the pure yang will then be offset by your chakra filtering into my own and then I won't need to worry about my balance of chakra fluctuating too much."

'What about sleeping for your mission tomorrow?' Isobu huffed in amusement.

"Sleep is for weaklings that don't believe in the grind!" Daiki merely laughed.

He didn't really need much sleep anyway and could go entire days without it easily. Admittedly, the mission tomorrow was important though…

He paused, "…I'll get a few hours in later, there's still a good eight hours before I need to set off for the mission anyway."

So much could be done in eight hours after all.

Still, even if you let yourself go, even if you laze around like a slob and forget what's truly important. The grind will forgive you and welcome you back into its all encompassing embrace! THE GRIND IS ETERNAL!
